#Episode 1055
Time continued to flow as it always had.
Even around that time, the conversation between the two masters and servants, which continued in a dark space where neither the distance nor the exact location was known, ended.
Even at this moment, in the middle of a snowy field that has already lost its original white color and turned red, a young man suddenly stops walking.
Slosh.
Cold and sticky texture.
Dozens of dead people were in the pool of blood that was up to the ankles.
At the same time, it was also the future of someone who was soaked in blood and waiting for death to slowly approach.
“Are you here?”
Cough.
Sima Gong, the King of the Black Night, who had been coughing with difficulty, blinked his eyes at the young man’s words that suddenly escaped his lips.
Now, a face that looked exactly like his own, which he thought he would never see again in this life, was reflected in his blurred pupils.
“how… … .”
Blurred horse tail.
However, the surprise was short-lived, and the father, who was staring at his son who had already returned, opened his mouth in his usual calm voice.
“I thought you had already gone far away, so why did you come back?”
“It was too far. For me now.”
The young man, Sima Piao, suddenly turned his head and looked somewhere along with his answer.
Amidst the fierce shouts that rang out ceaselessly, there were strong men sweeping away the remaining enemies while scattering destructive flashes of light.
And standing in the center of them all is Jin Tae-kyung, the fire god dragon.
“Not yet… … “I guess it wasn’t the right time.”
I tried to reach him, but I couldn’t. I tried to help him, but I had no choice but to turn away.
Sima Piao already knew.
The reason why the distance between him and Jin Tae-kyung, which was only a few hundred pages long, felt like tens of thousands of miles was because of his own shortcomings.
At the same time, on the other hand, he tried hard to deny it.
The fact that there was a real reason for his return.
“So, why did you have to come back here after so many journeys?”
“I just happened to see you.”
you.
It was an extremely dry way to refer to his father, but Sima Gong just nodded quietly.
“Accident. “Yeah, I see.”
“Yes, it’s a coincidence. entire.”
Contrary to what they said, the father and son knew.
All of this was not a coincidence but a choice.
However, the reason they did not mention it even though they knew it was because the two people resembled each other more than anyone else.
“How is the war going?”
“Is it that important to you? Even when you don’t know when you will die?”
“My death is the future, the battle is the present. “Nothing is more important than the present right before our eyes.”
It’s like being on the verge of death.
Nevertheless, in response to his father’s resolute answer, the son opened his mouth, letting out a laugh without even realizing it.
“It’s as if it’s already over. “All of the enemy monsters have died or fled, and the remaining enemies will soon be annihilated.”
What Sima Pyo said was a fact with nothing to add or take away.
The scales that once tilted toward Dark Heaven’s victory have long since broken.
All the blood sword demons and magicians met death, and the great magician disappeared like a ghost.
In addition, now that even the black ghosts who had shown powerful inaction had disappeared, the Allied Forces, led by the Joint Faction and aided by mysterious reinforcements who had arrived on the battlefield, were literally running wild.
Soon, the battle that has stained this vast snow field with blood will end.
No, it’s already over.
All that remains is massacre and slaughter in the name of battle.
And Sima Gong, who could not understand all of this due to his gradually fading consciousness, nodded slightly only after hearing all the facts.
“It is a great victory.”
“It’s a great victory. Our.”
“It’s us. Yes, you might think so now. Of course, the joint faction’s position will be different.”
“Communist faction… … “What do you mean?”
“There is no need to pretend not to know when you know. Didn’t you already guess that? “The crushing defeat at Dunhuang was no accident.”
Even though he committed the indelible sin of betrayal, Sima Gong confidently and calmly confessed.
To a child who resembles him more than anyone else.
“Yes, it is exactly as you guessed. He mobilized the clan factions and communal factions of Gansu who were against Nobu to unite and protect Dunhuang, and handed over the information to the Blood Sword Demon Army. They knew what was happening beyond the desert, but they didn’t tell them. “If it weren’t for those magic bandits who came from Ninghe, everything wouldn’t have gone the way it did.”
“… … !”
“Are you surprised? Or was she angry? But no matter what you think of Nobu, you will have no regrets. “It was just a choice for practical benefit and survival.”
After pouring out a flurry of words, Sima Gong stared straight at his son.
Practical and survival.
Okay, that’s it.
It was always like that.
He lived his whole life as a Safaan, and he was a Madowa. He always had to take risky gambles to increase his power, which was even weaker than that of the Black Island.
Just as in the great war called the Battle of Political and Demonic War, he was able to enjoy the right of the winner by choosing a political faction after thorough calculation.
And the son, who was silently looking down at his father, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Why did you do that?”
“I already told you everything.”
“I’m not asking about the reason for the betrayal. “I know very well what kind of person you are.”
“Then what…” … .”
“Why and how did you make that choice? “Why did you pursue survival and profit so fiercely?”
It was only later that the father realized the deeply sunken look in his son’s eyes.
What are the questions the flesh and blood in front of you are asking? What answer do you want from yourself?
However, in the short silence that felt like an eternity, Sima Gong’s voice that finally flowed from between his lips was low and cold.
“It’s still a long way away.”
“Well, what is that?”
“Things of the past that have already passed and the reasons for such things are not important. Now you should have asked about what will happen next as Nobu’s successor. Because that is the qualification of the owner of the door.”
“… … !”
“Now everything is in your hands. Gasol and his clan, vast land and numerous goods… … And most importantly, resentment that must be resolved. But are you really that curious about the past?”
Sima Gong sneered at his successor.
“Nobu’s insight was wrong. You will soon gain half of it, but soon you will lose it all. Wolves and eagles that smell blood will flock from all directions and bite the Black Dragon Demon Gate.”
Thousands of people have already died in Dunhuang alone due to the previous betrayal.
The communal faction suffered a similar or even greater blow during the Great War, and the same was true for the various factions that were the grassroots of Gansu martial arts.
Sima Gong had guessed what would happen if the truth was revealed.
If Amcheon, who was hit in the back by the second betrayal, leaks a little information, the name Black Dragon Demon Gate will disappear from the world.
Even the Jongnam faction, which is one of the old factions, is no exception.
Due to the sins committed by Noho Swordsman and Taeeul Mujeonggeom, who are now unknown whether alive or dead, the Jongnam faction may also have to be punished.
but… … .
‘Just as there is a hole to emerge even if the sky falls, there is always a way.’
It was at that time that Sima Gong muttered lowly in his heart.
Sima Piao, who was looking at him with an indescribable expression, opened his tightly closed lips.
“There is another way.”
“what?”
“It is said that there is a way to save the Black Dragon Demon Gate and a way to avoid the wolves and eagles that flock from all directions.”
For an instant, Sima Gong’s eyes sparkled strangely.
“It is the law of Gangho to repay blood with blood. “They will never forget what the Black Dragon Demon Gate did.”
“Half right, half wrong.”
Sima Pyo answered softly and continued.
“It is right to repay blood with blood, but there is no need for everyone in the Black Dragon Demon Gate to shed blood.”
“… … !”
“Was I wrong?”
A heavy silence fell between the two.
Even though the screaming and shouting continued, at this moment, all the surrounding noise seemed to have disappeared.
And finally, through one person’s lips, a low voice came out.
“Yes, that is correct. The original body is without sin. I just followed what my head told me to do. “Isn’t that right?”
To Sima Gong’s question, Sima Piao answered in a calm voice.
“Even if they are not satisfied with the supply and demand, they will have to be prepared to tear off each limb one by one.”
“It means that you will kill not only Nobu but also the senior figures who followed my orders. “And all of that.”
“There are too many visitors who come with a grudge. Even if we each quench our thirst with just one sip, a lot of blood will be needed.”
“I’m a guest. Since we are serving guests, not enemies, you, who will soon become the owner, will have to prepare yourself.”
“If you cut off your own head and arms and offer a reasonable compensation, the cause of revenge will lose its power.”
“Yes, that would have to be the case. Although someone might call a child who killed her father with her own hands a traitor… … .”
“More people than that would call me Windy Cloud. “For the sake of the world and the greater good, we will go to great lengths to be humane and righteous, even to the point of immorality.”
In response to that answer without hesitation, Sima Gong stared at Sima Biao with a stiff face.
A son who dares to say that he will personally kill his father.
And the next moment, a smile appeared on his face as if it had never happened before.
“Indeed, it is excellent.”
Forgetting for a moment even the terrible pain that assaulted his entire body, the giant who had ruled Sapa for the past several decades burst into laughter.
“Yeah, I wanted it to look like this right now. That is why I chose you as my successor.”
At this moment, Sima Gong, the King of Dark Nights, was truly happy.
Because your choice was not wrong.
He is confident that everything he has dedicated his life to achieving will be passed down to a worthy successor.
eight sons and nine daughters.
Among them, Sima Pyo is the eighth son and the last seventeenth child.
He was the youngest and most talented, a true successor, and has finally grown into a proper Safain.
A true Safaan who can even kill his father and cold-bloodedly pursues utility and survival in any situation.
‘With this, it is done.’
The end of a long and intense life.
However, Sima Gong was ready to accept death with a reassuring smile.
At the same time, he lifted his blood-soaked lips towards Sima Pyo, who was pulling out the black dragon sword, which was submerged in a pool of blood.
From an immature son, to the new ruler of Sapa, who has now been reborn as the master of one gate.
“Hurry up, Moonju.”
The moment when a very polite voice rang out.
Shut up!
A ray of dazzling light passed before his eyes.
